Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a sweet smell or some sort of smell, and now it is time for you to post until the smelly cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: BRUMAL!
-
Almost a sartorial word of the day. With a bow.
-
Wow! You had Roslyn Kind in your audience (for those who don't know, she's Barbra Streisand's half-sister).
-
You had a bacon cheeseburger, slaw, and coconut cream pie with whipped cream? All of that in a pie?? Who do you think you are, Joey Tribiani??
;)
(anyone know the specific reference?)
-
And congrats on the success of the show! Hopefully, today's will be just as successful...if not more!
-
BK, about the radio show...do you know if the station does streaming audio over the Internet?
-
It was in the more BRUMAL days of November that Chuck's LUMBAR muscles would start to ache, a condition that would last until late March.
-
Good morning Larry.
I hope everything will be well with you.
-
Good morning, all! I am gearing up for several days of madness, beginning with Dylan's move this afternoon. I had a wonderful meeting yesterday with Andy Monroe, composer and lyricist for THE TRAGIC AND HORRIBLE LIFE OF THE SINGING NUN, and I will definitely be involved with it. The festival is also doing THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, which is near and dear to my (and BK's) heart, and I've got my fingers crossed that both shows get picked up for something grand.
This morning, I am off to Toyland.
-
Good morning Larry.
I hope everything will be well with you.
Good morning, DR Michael S! All goes well, thanks for asking. And how are things with you?
-
Sunday morning greetings! My wiggy (from the antibiotics) stomach woke me up at 6:30, so I've been puttering for a couple of hours.
DH Richard will be home this afternoon from his week in Wisconsin . :D
-
DR Elmore - if I'm reading this Playbill article (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/100838.html) correctly, the NYMF will conclude on the day before Richard and I arrive in NYC :-\
-
I am intrigued and fascinated and reticient about THE TRAGIC AND HORRIBLE LIFE OF THE SINGING NUN....
Wow! A great Courts Show AND a terrific Cabaret night! Saturday was BKDAY in Southern California. Congratulations! As Miss Elizabeth Taylor said about everyone who shunned her when she married Eddie Fisher, and then fawned when she won the Oscar for BUTTERFIELD 8: "There is no deodorant like success!"
-
Temps in the 90's yesterday (the theatre was HOT HOT HOT, but the show went well) - and the same for today and Monday!
Working today at the World of Wisdom....I hope I am not book continuously for six hours, but time will tell.
-
Will work on the Unseemly Trivia Contest when I get home.
I ordered THE LOVED ONE and HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING yesterday....and of course GRAND PRIX on Friday, so hopefully they will all be here sooner or later.
Yesterday I also got EIGHT BELOW about the dogs left to fend for themselves in the Antarctic.... Watched about half of it...I liked it.
-
Time to make the donuts.

Here, too, DR JRand! I just walked to the end of our driveway for the newspapers and it's already stifling - very humid.

Oy! Would that I could, DR Elmore! The other day, when I checked out a book titled 31 Days (about the first month of the Ford presidency), the young man behind the desk asked if that's when I was retiring. And I said, "Don't I wish!"
-
I'm up, I'm up. Not sure about jogging this morning - may wait until the afternoon.
-
BK - congratulations on the success of the cabaret series and on your appearance at the collectors' show!
-
Back for a tick.
LOL....sounds like just MY kind of show, DRELMORE.
Hi DR GINNY - it is terrible here as well....the heat/humidity that is.
Hopefully the A/C at the store is functioning properly.
DR MATTH - I would like to take you up on your offer to copy the copy of YOUNGBLOOD HAWKE I sent you. That would be GREAT. You can put it on a DVR or whatever....VHS would be fine as well.
When you can, let me know when it's ready and I'll send you my address....and make you something you may not have.... although I am not sure what that would be as yet....LOL.
-
Good morning!
We got some thunder in my neighborhood last night, but the rain passed me by completely. Not so with other sections of the county. I read in the newspaper this morning that 6,000 folks were without power last night after a storm moved through here. I got nothing; my yard is as brown as can be, but I'm not complaining. Brown yard = no mowing!
In the midst of a real heat wave here with no rain even in the forecast now and soaring temperatures throughout the week.
-
Now I am on my way....back this evening....
-

I'll start looking for it today. Since you made it for me, and I didn't make it myself, I didn't put a code number on it (don't ask; it's my filing system for homemade videotapes) and now I must find where I stored it. Be patient with me.
-
I'm looking forward to my Joan Crawford festival this afternoon. DANCING LADY will be first, and then A WOMAN'S FACE on laserdisc, I think. That should take me through the afternoon.
I'll watch TOO MANY GIRLS tonight since my TV shows don't start until 9 p.m.
-
ANd DR George, a reminder:
RENO 911! tonght, remember?

Great news about Susan Egan's weekend cabaret. Hopefully, Heather MacRae's will go just as smoothly and be just as successful.

Off to do some straightening up around the house and then on to lunch preparation and movie watching.

I think we may have lost one of the bird babies - only see two in the nest now, and noticed that what looks like a tiny bird body lying on the ground close to the garage. Is that something mommy bird would have done - taken a dead baby bird out of the nest and dropped it on the ground? Or, I could be wrong and it might not be a baby bird on the ground (it's really a tiny thing and there are lots of little plant thingees all over the ground). The two that I can still see in the nest seem healthy and mommy is feeding them often and they're singing up a storm.
-
BK, will we be seeing pix from today's and yesterday's shows and events.
House of Pies coconut cream pie with whipped cream. Homer Simpson's donut drool moment...

I wanna live in New York and get invited to things like this! Or just live in New York (and be able to afford it) and be able to afford going to shows. Someday...when I win the lottery. ;)
-
ANd DR George, a reminder:

Thanks for the reminder! I'm going to a pot-luck this afternoon, but I don't know if I'll be home in time. I probably will, but I'll set my VCR, just in case.
-
bk, it could have fallen out of the nest or pushed out of the nest if it was the smaller of the three.
-
Off to a picnic in a bit.... YIKES, it will be a hot one.....

Today was not one of my favorite days at work.
For example, there was the elderly lady who was quite insistant that she had handed me a fifty, and I had only given her change for a twenty. Fortunately, this took place close to my break, so Larry-the-assistant-floor-manager was able to audit my register's cash pan without having to close me down. And no, the elderly lady was mistaken, she had not given me a fifty. Still, I felt sorry for her, even though it meant that I hadn't made a mistake.
Later, I spent something like forty-five minutes repairing the coupon printer. The paper had somehow wrapped around the platen, which for that printer is really small. The one person in the store who had experience in this kind of printer repair was busy in the office, and couldn't be bothered to help, so it was between myself and Larry-the-assistant-floor-manager to figure out what needed to be done. Yes, we got it fixed. Really, I'm the one who figured out what had to be done, and then made sure Larry-the-assitant-floor-manager and Dixie-the-floor-manager knew what it was I had figured (so they'll know what to do should the same problem come up again).
No disasters, just aggrivating.
Thank the Lordy for my meds! :-\
-
bk, it could have fallen out of the nest or pushed out of the nest if it was the smaller of the three.
This sounds cruel, but as the little birdies grow, sacrificing one so Mommy can feed the rest of her brood is quite common.
Just think of this next time you meet a beseiged mother of triplets. Who is smarter, the mother bird or the mother human?
:o

So do I, DR George, so do I!

I have a favor to ask any DRs in the Pacific Time Zone: at 2:30pm, on the Food Network there will be an episode of Behind the Bash that's about the fundraiser (Dream Ball at NYC's Waldorf Astoria) for the American Cancer Society program "Look Good, Feel Better." If anyone could record it for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Or any DRs in other time zones who may have already recorded it...

I amy VERY patient, DR MATTH....just when you can.
One of my favorite things in TOO MANY GIRLS is Mr Van Johnson as one of the chorus boys, dancing up a storm with no idea of the stardom ahead for him. And of course Lucy in some of the BIG numbers lost in the crowd and dancing as best she can - but usually a beat behind....not having done the numbers on Broadway.
Desi shines and must have been SOMETHING in concert and onstage....no wonder Lucy fell for him.
-
Yes it may have been a birdie fratricide....
-
Very busy the first couple of hours, but not so much right now here at The World of Wisdom. That's okay.
DEATH BY CHOCOLATE had a good audience last night and I think our second week will be nearly full houses. Everyone has a good time and I hear good comments on the egress.
-
work work work......but considering some angles on the Unseemly Trivia Contest.
DR CILLA LIZ...last week's winner....are you working on it?
Where is DRJMK?
-
Good afternoon!
We've got an inferno here. Just as hot and muggy and still as the South can be in the middle of summer. Yuck!
-
DR Jrand, I found the video of HAWKE with very little effort. (I'm so proud of myself for putting it somewhere logical!)
At any rate, I'll get to work on the dubbing at some point today and should have it ready to go in a day or two (could be ready tomorrow, but I don't want to make any promises until I get it on disc. Things can always go wrong, and it IS a long movie)
-
I started the afternoon watching another CSI episode from Season 5. This was the one that solved some serial killings which began in a season 4 episode. Very entertaining episode.
-
Next came DANCING LADY. Joan actually has some dancing talent, but someone should have been kind and told her that she should not watch her feet when she dances. Anyway, this old film has been given a nice transfer. Nelson's Eddy one brief song near the end does not show him to best advantage, however. Good lord, it's a miracle MGM kept him under contract.
-
Then I pulled something of a surprise on myself. As I took out the laserdisc boxed set that contained several Joan Crawford movies (with the intention of watching A WOMAN'S FACE), I noticed that the box also contained WHEN LADIES MEET which I had never watched before. What a cast! In addition to Crawford, there are Robert Taylor, Greer Garson, Spring Byington, Herbert Marshall, and it's a romanbtic comedy. I only had time to watch the first side of the alserdisc (about 50 minutes or so), but I'll finish it later today.
When I got to my office, I did a little research since I knew nothing about this movie. Who knew it was a remake of an earlier 30s comedy that starred Myrna Loy? Watching this, I imagined it was an original screenplay written for Hepburn and Tracy and turned down by them so Crawford and Taylor stepped into it. But nothing of the kind. Looks like it was meant for the stars who played it and as another step for Garson on her road to being MGM's top female star.

I haven't received the bill for my AC yet (I do know the estimate) but I can say at this moment I think it is worth every cent! Right now the temp is 99 and heat index 105!

Heading down now to clean the guest bathroom and then back to WHEN LADIES MEET.
I recorded June Allyson's chat with Robert Osborne to watch again, so I'll see that tonight, too, before network TV commences.

Have we had any topics today? Hmm. Has anyone seen the previews of any of this fall's new shows that look good, or at least interesting? How about disgusting?

Well, I'm off for now. I have to take a shower and make food to bring to the pot-luck. Until later!

My former intern Dylan has now moved out. I am in the midst of reorganizing the apartment: the laundry is in, the bathroom cleaned and mopped, and my living space reorganized in case DR MBarnum decides to invade NYC in October.
I have to say that, while I appreciated Dylan's being around for the three weeks I was away, I'm not sorry he's gone. Some people learn New York is not the place they're meant to be, and Dylan learned that by the end of June. Unfortunately, he neither used his time here constructively nor financially to his advantage, and I got burned. I wish him well, but I cannot help him achieve that.
At least now I can drag out the VCR again!
-
I'm thinking about the possibilities of a New York Based sitcom - all the NY Hainsies and/or Kimlets dwelling in the same apartment block with "guests" appearing every now and again from the NW, West, Midwest etc. Perhaps even an overseas visitor. Even room there for the just passing through and sometimes posters - new and old. How is Jason I wonder.
Perhaps even a local eatery/coffee/bar establishment.
A mixture of Queer as Folk and Friends I guess.
-
Noticed that the telemovie "Dash and Lili" is on here in the wee small hours. Have any DRs seen it - recommend? a more realistic view I guess than "Julia" (Which I like very much).
-
Hello all. We've had a full weekend thus far. Started yesterday by meeting my friend who was in town for a training conference for lunch and a visit to the flea market. Came home rest for a while and then went out to dinner with Rodzinski's sis. We then headed over to a karaoke bar where we were joined by DR Jose and some other friends. It was a late night.
This morning I got up to bid my friend farewell before he headed back to Boston. Then went back to sleep until noon when we all got up to head over to Jose's for brunch. All I have to say is the man can cook! After gorging ourselves on biscuits and gravy and cheesy hashbrown casserole, we gorged ourselves on reality tv shows from last week. A lovely time was had by all.
Now we're back at home resting.
-
Radio is playing Rod Stewart's "Where or When" at the moment. I'm not sure which is the worse - maybe Barry Manilow. (OzDerek would not have been pleased with that comment!).
-
Horses for courses. I'm very much a Linda Ronstadt fan. Her new CD is released in a week or so.
"Carnivale" Season 2 - gets its release this week at long last.
-
Well, this will not do. BK will be returning home, probably within the hour, and even a frenzy would not put us at the level we should be.
-
It was a beautiful day here in Tacoma. The temperature was in the mid-seventies. As the week progresses, the temperature will continue to climb until we reach the 90s next weekend. Angel will not be happy. When it gets too hot for her, she keeps looking at me as if it is my fault the heat has been turned up.
-
Well, Mr. Oz, it appears that we have scared DR M. Barnum away.

My DH Richard has arrived home safely from his week in Wisconsin.

Tomovoz and Colin may decide to stay, too.

Back from the show - what IS going on here today? Let's get some postin' goin' on because I do NOT want a new all-time low just because I wasn't here to whip everyone into a lather. Let's get some frenzies goin' on or I shall not divulge any information about today's show. I will say it was much more sparsely attended than yesterday, but I did almost as much business, which was great.

I see people just sitting there like so much fish!
I'm going to jog now, then get some chow.

Last night I watched ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN. I love Abbott and Costello, but this one is a real clunker. In one scene, Dracula (Yes, Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney, Jr. are also in it) seduces the evil female doctor and then bites her on the neck. The whole scene is filmed with them both standing in front of a mirror, in which both of them are refelcted.

DR Elmore - Did DR Matt H organise your cleaning schedule? Maybe that is organize your cleaning skedule.
-
Just listening to "Mr Bojangles" IMHO Jerry Jeff Walker's is still the best version. I'm fine with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's version but have never really liked the one by Sammy Dvs Jnr.
Hey! It's a post.
-
And of such things -- "I Think It's Gonna Rain Today" Neil Diamond's version is nearly as bad as that by Miss Midler.
-
Here is a question: In 1776, does the actress who plays Mrs. Jefferson get paid as much as the actors who perform for the whole show?
-
Back from an insanely insane jog - at four-thirty it's still 100 degrees. Unbelievably unbelievable. Well, must get some foodstuffs and sit on my couch like so much fish.

Today's listening.
Nigel Kennedy plays Jimi Hendrix.
"The Kennedy Experience".
-
The Devil may go down to Georgia but he would certainly meet his match with Mr Kennedy.

Interesting approach to Hendrix but I prefer "The Doors Concerto" by Mr Kennedy.

Seattle's 5th Avenues Theatre is getting on the bandwagon, and doing the new version of WHITE CHRISTMAS (along with Mr. Barnum's BOMBAY DREAMS) next season. Of course, all the photos they are using to promote the show are from the San Francisco production starring Kate Baldwin and Graham Rowat.

Sorry for being errant and truant all day, but I just now finished cleaning up after DRs TPunk and Rodzinksi left a few hours ago.
;)
-
Ah, karaoke! :)
I had never been to one of those karaoke places with the private/party rooms. Quite a nice set-up. Nothing fancy, but it was nice knowing that you were definitely going to get to sing rather than waiting and waiting and waitng for your turn. And, I have to say, the singing talent in Room 5 last night was pretty decent. -And I also stumbled up a Whitney Houston Medley that was a hoot!
After we had all joined in the final chorus of "New York, New York", we headed over to a bar called Sortie. Neat place. Dim "mood" lighting, lots of couches, pretty potent cocktails. And it was after I had my cocktail - a martini that was made with pureed lychee fruit and a basil-infused vodka (quite yummy!) - that I "volunteered" to make brunch this morning. ;)
-
On the Kitty front, since they seem to do paws and shrieks ablazing, I have decided to start putting Boo in her carrier and let her sit with me while I watch TV. While Callie does not seem amused, they can't hurt each other and may get used to being around each other. Besides it's cooler down here for Boo
-
Private Karaoke room...that could be interesting
-
Good Evening!
Sorry for being errant and truant all day, but I just now finished cleaning up after DRs TPunk and Rodzinksi left a few hours ago.

And I thought they were house trained.
-
Callie and Boo are having a stare down, but not making any noise and they can't hurt each other with Boo in her carrier. I would live to just let her out, but I think I should let them get used to each other this way. The other ways haven't been working too well!
-
Well, after finally getting out of bed around 11:00, I raced down the street to Foodtown to shop for brunch. Then after realizing that they had almost nothing I needed, I raced down to Pathmark.
I almost cancelled brunch as soon as I saw the lines at the registers - they were all at least seven or eight people deep. And everyone had very full carts. In fact, there were no more carts at the front of the store to use. I was just afraid that I would not make it back in time to get all the food cooked before everyone started arriving. But I went ahead and grabbed a basket, and proceeded to walk the aisles.
Lo and behold, by the time I was ready to check out, the lines at the Express lanes were next to nothing. I was through the checkout line in no time!
And then it was home to cook, clean, cook some more... And then "Brunch is served!"
I had a wonderful time. It was great getting to spend some more time with DRs TPunk and Rodzinksi, Rodzinski's sister, and James. *The biscuits and gravy were a special request from James - and TPunk - and I was more than happy to oblige.
Anybody want some leftover Hash Brown Casserole?
;D
-
And I thought they were house trained.
Actualy, they are both house trained quite well. I just got into one of those "moods" where if I'm cleaning this, I might as well clean that... and that... and that...
-
Did I miss it, or was there no celebration for TCB's 5000th post?
You mean I hit a major milestone and I didn't even notice!

-
Oh my! We should have a party....Jose can bring the hashbrowns
-
Here is a question: In 1776, does the actress who plays Mrs. Jefferson get paid as much as the actors who perform for the whole show?
Well, all actors get paid the same base salary - at least for Equity productions. However, the base salaries are just minimums. If you have a good agent...

Congrats TCB

I should be able to share a bit more news as the coming week goes on. I'm just waiting for a few more e-mails and faxes to be exchanged.

At one point I was tempted to make a second course of a hashbrown casserole sandwich with bacon and sausage gravy.
Since I was already quite full I resisted the urge.

Guilty as charged! Actually, I've been hearing all about Richard's week at Nashotah House, eating pizza with him and our DS Rob, and watching 2 episodes of NCIS, season 1.

Man! Sometimes the world at large just conspires to irk people, doesn't it? All I wanted was some food. First, I went to Gelson's - the deli was too crowded and I didn't feel like anything anyway. Then, I drove across the street to the Subway. As I parked, ten people walked into the Subway. This at five-thirty. Well, I wasn't about to wait behind ten people. Then I drove to Quickie's to get three slices of pizza. There was someone ordering when I walked in - ordering five large pizzas, a few slices, a few sides, a few salads, with no end in sight. I stormed out. I then drove to another pizza place I'd never tried, not too far away. I ordered three slices - there was this HUGE pizza, and they put that in to cook and to take my three slices from. Twenty minutes later it was done. He then cut the slices and each one of the was roughly the size of a motor home. I've never seen bigger slices in my life and each one had to be put in its own small box, and even then the edge had to be folded over to make it fit. I got the three slices home. The pizza was fair, but I was so hungry I ate most of two slices (but not all), which was probably like eating four slices - blechhh. I didn't even touch the third slice, just threw it out. I then had to get the taste out of my mouth so I had a Snickers with almonds bar. So, I ate terrible food (except for the Snickers) and way too much pizza, when all I wanted was three reasonble slices (which would have been roughly 1000 calories - fine for the diet). Thankfully, I jogged, but I will be very angry if I so much as gain a half-pound from that awful pizza.

Well, my work here is done. Good night, everyone!

I really have been E & T. Gosh, first time I have said that. ;D
It has been very hectic here since we returned, we even drove back north, 3 1/2 hours, to check out a litter of chocolate labs. August might find us with a new family member. If not in August then sometime in the fall.
The trip was grand-I promise spectacular photos eventually.
It was wonderful to see George again and to finally meet TCB. I do have a nice group picture I need to size for posting.

Welcome back, DR Jane! We've missed you!
-
Welcome back, Jane!!!

It's about TIME!

Thanks for the welcome backs. :D
I'm sorry I have to leave again :(so quickly & can't catch up with the news while I was gone-feel free to send me emails. I must focus on getting my house in order & have a ton of errands to do this week and then I can return to hanging out with all of you.
‘night.
-
Good to see you back, Jane.
-
I'm just going to keep my mouth shut.

Here is a question: In 1776, does the actress who plays Mrs. Jefferson get paid as much as the actors who perform for the whole show?
I do know that in 1976, the actress who played Mrs. Jefferson got paid as much as the other actors (except Sherman Hemsley).
;)
-
HOWEVER - two weeks away, and back for two posts and then ANOTHER week away? I'm so sorry to say but we ALL have busy lives my darling Jane, but to take these interminable breaks is most unseemly - if I did it, this here site would shut down, and believe me I am as busy as anyone.
There.
-
Well, The cats did pretty well. I locked Callie in the north side of the house and let Boo run for awhile. She wasn't pleased when I took her back up to her room. I think we made a lot of progress this weekend. I will celebrate more than you can imagine on the day when they are both running free in the house.
-
If TCB is being so low-key about his 5000th post, I guess I shouldn't make a big deal out of getting close to post #2700.
-
And Jefferson Mays made as much money as the whole cast did in I AM MY OWN WIFE. :)
-
And one for Moolah!
-
Excellent brunch by Mr. JoseSPiano. And good times at karaoke last evening.
It seems to be blazing hot all over the USA. No different here.
-
With my sis from Berkeley, I watched a brief program on the Weather Channel about what would happen if a big earthquake hit the Bay Area. Hopefully, she will prepare herself for this sort of emergency.
She and TPunk are now watching Intervention.
-
Vixmom!
Good to see your name on here, my friend.
-
Well, I might as well get to...
-
...post 2700
-
I want to pass this on. I found this very funny. I hope you will too
It would seem that someone within the "royal ranks" passed wind whilst on the balcony much to the amusement of all.
Notice HM the Queen's face in the first two photos, then look at her final _expression in picture three.
How guilty does HRH the Duke of Edinburgh look?

Welcome back DR Jane,
I hope to see you and DH Keith next weekend during my quick trip to the Rogue Valley!
-
Hmmm....I am thinking I might need to have DR Jose fix a meal next time I am on the East Coast!

Breakfast?

Well... I have two full days of auditions to start my week off. In fact, they're for the previously mentioned NYMF - New York Music Theatre Festival. And since I've already had quite the full day today...
Goodnight.
-
Actualy, they are both house trained quite well. I just got into one of those "moods" where if I'm cleaning this, I might as well clean that... and that... and that...
I wish I had that problem. ;)
-
On the Kitty front, since they seem to do paws and shrieks ablazing, I have decided to start putting Boo in her carrier and let her sit with me while I watch TV. While Callie does not seem amused, they can't hurt each other and may get used to being around each other. Besides it's cooler down here for Boo
That sounds like a good plan Cilla. I do hope all works out eventually.
-
Vixmom!
Good to see your name on here, my friend.
Thank you!!
I think I'm going into HHW withdrawal with this new job!!
FJL I would love to attend your "do" on the 20th if you don't mind the Vixter coming along...if its an "adults only" affair I understand completely and hope you all have a lovely time!!
-
You mean I hit a major milestone and I didn't even notice!
[/b]
Congrats on your milestone TCB!!
-
I fell asleep on the float in the pool today and now the top of my thighs are sunburned. Fortunately, I was on my back so I can still sit comfortably.

I missed it. :-\
Happy 5000th Post, TCB!!
;D

Lots of viewing tonight after I got the cleaning chores out of the way.
I finshed up with WHEN LADIES MEET. Some of it was predictable, and some of it was not and thus entertaining. I can see why Greer Garson gained a lot of fans from this film. She stood her philandering husband with all the dignity she could muster and walked out on him with the grandeur of a princess.
Herbert Marshall was a movie favorite of the time, but he's miscast in the film: too old for either Crawford or Garson.
-
I watched my copy of Deceit last night. I want to watch the commentary track next.
It appears to be several million degrees here at the moment and the humidity is 176%
Wish we had air conditioning
-
Welcome back Jane!! Glad you have a lovely tiem on your trip.
-
Well, the pot-luck barbeque was quite the success. A lot of food was eaten by everyone and everyone just sat and stood around talking. I met a few people and spoke with a couple of very nice ladies, one whose name is Veronica. I've never met a Veronica before. Now I have. :)
-
Well I think I have to sign off because the computer and the fan are in different rooms and I have a strong need to be in the room with the fan at the moment
-
I watched THE ASSASSINATION OF RICHARD NIXON tonight. The story of Samuel Byck, given a Cliffs-notes treatment in ASSASSINS, is covered more fully in this, and what a sad, pathetic man he was. A very melancholy film.
-
My father's aunt's name was Veronica.
He willl occassionally will call the Vixter "Veronica"
-
Nice to see you again also vixmom!
-
The hEat is unbearable. Vibes to alll and to all a good night!!
-
Then came COLD CASE. I didn't think I had seen the show from the description I read on the cable guide, and about halfway through I remembered that I had seen this episode, but since other shows had already been on a half hour, I just cotinued watching it. A sad tale.
-
Finished up with GREY'S ANATOMY. There was some sniggering sexual situations (an erection that wouldn't go down) that I thought were beneath the maturity of the characters in the show (trying to sneak him in the hospital without bosses seeing anything - good lord!), but otherwise I enjoyed the episode. The story of the lady having quintuplets was riveting.
-
I brought cocktail smokies in a sauce made of two parts red current jelly and one part yellow mustard. I know people who have made it with grape jelly, but I've only used red current jelly. Anway, it was a big success. I used two packages of smokies and a 12 ounce jar of jelly and 6 ounces of mustard. I thought that it would be too much, but by the time I left, there were only six smokies left! All the rest of them had been eaten! ;D They've always been popular at work pot-lucks, so I guess it makes sense that they'd be popular out in the real world, too. ;)
-
No pix, no yarns from today's adventures, BK?
-
So, tomorrow, I'll be able to watch tonight's DEADWOOD, ENTOURAGE, RENO 911!, and LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT.
Lucy and Desi are also waiting in the wings with TOO MANY GIRLS as well.

Ah, it's midnight here, and I'm on my way to bed.
Good night!
-
Have to upload the pix from my camera, but there aren't that many, I'm afraid.
-
Just checking in before I go to bed. I finished my laundry and fried some chicken tenders to take to work for lunch tomorrow. I recently got a handy dandy refrigerator that fits under my desk. It's very handy. So, now I'm cooking lunch instead of eating out.
-
Well....I must say it seems I have missed most of the fun! I have been terribly busy today haggling customers to purchase Benjamin Kritzer, Which I can now begin to say is truly delightful, being halfway through it myself. Unfortunatly my mother let me sleep an unseemly 3 HOURS, so I am not quite as far as I planned to be. (Sorry!, I'll call another night!).
The whole day at the celebrity show really was quite pleasant, despite it being four degrees. I was able to sneak out past the hundreds of armed gaurds with a "celebrity" ribbon, making me a practical celebrity myself. Who would have thought it would be that easy! Off to do laundry!
-
Adriana, it sounds like you had a lovely time..
